Week 8 Refraction & Distortion - Directed study only


This is a direct study drawing on reflecting surfaces. The drawing is made for about one hour. The main medium used for the drawing is pencil and graphite stick. The composition is made from five different types 
of glasses. Each glass has a different shape and suits a different purpose. 

The other important part of the composition is the strong light, coming from the right of the drawing, which is seen in the reflection. The light source is so close to the glasses, that the reflection is so strong,
that it appears on the left side of the glasses as well as on the right side, leaving only the middle area of the glasses darkened. This is because the glass in transparent and the light passes true both walls of 
the glasses. 

The entire idea of this composition is the direct study of the different shapes and forms that the glasses have and the different reflection which each one makes. The main thing while drawing reflection in glasses
is the shape of the object.
